Fisher Heights & Area Community Association

Skating Rinks

Every winter, a group of dedicated community members build, maintain, and operate a boarded skating rink (and a small ‘puddle rink’ for beginning skaters) on the lawn behind the Fisher Heights Community Place at 31 Sutton Place.

Ice time is scheduled to ensure that both hockey players and free skaters have a chance to enjoy the rink. Bathrooms are open in the community centre during the supervised hours.

The 2024-2025 season is now open

Winter arrived on time this year. With the recent cold weather our ice makers have been working hard to build the ice and we are happy to let you know the rinks are open.

PRIORITY DURING THESE HOURS IS GIVEN TO RECREATIONAL SKATING. HOCKEY IS ALLOWED, FIRST COME FIRST SERVED, OUTSIDE THESE HOURS.

Puddle Rink

We have built a puddle rink for the little ones on the basketball court. This one is flatter and has a hard base with snow banks for boards. The previous place had a slope and never really worked as well, so we hope this one will work better. NO hockey sticks, pucks or nets allowed on this ice surface at any time.

We are aiming to have the lights on the rink on from sunset until 11:00 pm.

FAQ

    • Rinks are supervised certain hours of the day. The skate change room and washrooms are open during these times.
    • There is a bench or two outside if the skate room is unavailable.
    • The puddle rink is much improved, relocated onto the basketball court and bordered by snowbanks.
    • After a snowfall the rinks will be cleared by the ice maker but sometimes more time is needed. You may bring your own shovel if needed.
    • We monitor the ice conditions regularly and update the notice on the home page.
